Free The Billionaire's Baby (The Romero Brothers, Book 5) by Shadonna Richards

occasional nightmares of
that horrible accident that scarred her body for life and scarred her emotionally
so that had to be addressed first.
    Amber told her
therapist about her rekindled relationship with Jules and how he made her feel
these days. She felt completely torn and wasn’t ready to accept everything that
was happening to her emotionally. Jules knew what Amber looked like underneath
her garments, the horrible secret she had hidden from him for fear of rejection
and yet he cared about her anyway. He went out of his way to make her feel
special. Loved. Appreciated. She, in turn, truly appreciated his kindness. But
she’d been through emotional hell with her ex that it was hard to trust again.
    At one time she
would have been ecstatic over Jules’s devotion to her, but now Amber was finding
she was a bit afraid of it in addition to finding his obvious love for her—and
while she’s pregnant with someone else’s child !— completely
tempting and seductive. How crazy was that?
    Jules did
everything and anything wonderful for her, from giving her the most amazing soothing,
gentle back rubs and relaxing soft massages to getting her desired foods and
other odd cravings in the middle of the night when he could have sent someone
else or advised her where to go.
    Then there was
the dinner at Romero Manor with Jules’s family a couple weeks ago.
    Amber was anxious
at first about sitting down to dinner with the entire Romero clan but it was a
godsend. A contrast from her emotionally-distant aunt.
The Romeros were so giving and kind and loving. She enjoyed the warm family
spirit and missed that with her own family after the tragedy. For the first
time she’d had a sense of longing in every fiber of
her being. Wishing they were her family. Wishing that her child would be a part
of that loving bond. Wishing that Jules and she would end up…together forever. Yeah, right. Only in a perfect world!
    The Romeros, Amber
noticed, did a lot of things for themselves and often moved with regular folks   as well as
fellow wealthy people. Outside of their expensive mansions and impressive
properties, luxury vehicles and prestigious businesses, they were actually like
normal people. She could so relate to them on many levels. And Jules was no
exception.
    What had she done
to deserve his wonderful attention? Amber was wrong about Jules in the past. She
was both thrilled and terrified to be able to have a second chance with him
though she wasn’t quite sure what their relationship was currently. They were
just friends, weren’t they? Though deep inside Amber wished they were a couple
again. A real couple. Over the past few weeks, Jules
was so attentive to her—taking time away from his business to help her. Yet,
she always felt that it might not even last because she had been traumatized
while growing up into thinking she could never be worthy of being with someone
as amazing as Jules.
    Her doubts were
always getting the best of her. And whenever there was a moment she felt good
about herself or her relationships, that doubt would rear its ugly head in her
mind and she would promptly back away psychologically.
    “Dr. Danye will see you now, Amber,” the receptionist came back
out into the waiting room to inform Amber.
    “Thank you.” Amber
dropped the magazine back on the table. The general waiting served a few
offices in that area and had a few people sitting and waiting to see a
professional. She never thought too much of it at the time but today she was
acutely aware of being watched. A man with silver-streaked dark hair wearing a
long dark trench coat and dark sunglasses apparently was gazing right in her
direction. A grim expression pasted on his face. He slowly turned his head away
but for some reason, Amber felt a sense of uneasiness creep over her. She
rubbed her baby bump protectively and walked cautiously into the doctor’s
office.
    Don’t get paranoid, Amber. Nobody is watching you. No
one is following you. It’s
